He who has a Why to live for can bear any How-short thoughts-to give life meaning.

Today was day 3 of week 2 of working my day job at an institution for troubled teenage girls. During my spare time I started reading a book that my Army PDSD counselor gave me, "Man's Search For Meaning" by Viktor Frankl. In this work his whole premiss is synonymous with a quote from Nietzche:"He who has a Why to live for can bear any How." I first heard about this book when I did Tony Robbins "GET THE EDGE." It deems appropriate to me now as I learn more about myself and about life in general by observing behaviors and actions.

"The Coin" part 1 from "Inside your shadow." (C) 2025

 edited for DOWN AND OUT DETOUR 2: (C) 2026 There’s a river that passes through hell. To get across that river one must pay the ferryman (Charon). One of the items, energies set free was from an AA coin. When one leaves the Earth he/she must pay the Charon a coin. In other worlds (God’s Time is different from manmade time). The energies of the chip went to a father’s wake. He remembered a few years ago, hearing his father talk to his stepmom, “I just don’t understand why he came to Thanksgiving high out of his mind again. I’ve done everything I could do to help him.” At a Thanksgiving, a few years later I would learn that he had cancer. My stepmom, my father, my niece and nephew were in the kitchen. There were platters, bowls, and plates with the regulars on the marble center table, potatoes, gravy, turkey, cranberries, and dressing. The interior designer came in, seemingly from nowhere. Wearing blue jeans and a black shirt to get his pay. He asked my stepmom, while my father...

"Prequel to The Coin" From "Inside Your Shadow" (C) 2025

I’ve heard for quite some time, that water is one of the most powerful forces in the world, and beyond this world. In the big three major religions Islam, Judaism, and Christianity there are stories of the great flood. Water being a tool to purge the lands. Water gives life and takes life away. A major storm, named Katrina, did such things. I heard Katrina is German meaning is ‘cleansing.’ Baptism embarks on a spiritual rebirth involving water. Once I placed a hand held glass container that contained holy water. When I removed the barrier of one of my energy points, I took notice that with in days of removing the boundary, the water evaporated. Where’d all the water go? It went to many places, uncountable. This is a story of one drop. One day he remembered to visit his grandmother. “After all she wouldn’t be around forever,” his father told him often. His father would die a couple days prior, The place had a two story Charnell House one could see, from the highway by the beach, all sor...

Inside to escape the Outside-Is the purpose of Education. He had an argument with his girlfriend. Barely made his rent this month. She scorned, "You don't even do anything for me anymore." The day before that he was at the bus stop and telling at kids to get on the bus. They yelled back, "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" was the mild form of the expression. He returned home-and almost d...
